BGG - and then a scheduled "Special News Time" on Chat this evening (in the 7:30pm CST hour) ...
~~~

BGG - Short - mid term investment prospects are incredible, there are some very unique opportunities about to open up... Cricket22 - Awesome! :) BGG - I am very excited to bring some common sense thoughts to light. No ramble. designbyg - ya.....its incredible now.....wait till they go live....!!! eman4u55 - ready to hear it jd says - What was so important about Tmans 15th deadline?? BGG - Nothing - really, he was just pointing out his thoughts. BGG - we should be thankful someone shared a reasonable "speculation" - which is the nature of "speculative investment"... BGG - no one ever said this is a "guaranteed investment" or "push here to get rich button"... BGG - which are both huge misconceptions common to this community. Savannah - when I got in I was told to hurry it was going to happen any day (lol) Savannah - (lol) BGG - and that is the "patently fraudulent" side of the equation. BGG - unfortunately - many have believed as much and been hurt by it. Savannah - so true (lol) BGG - I - for one, am thankful when we have reasonable, thoughtful speculation... (by tman23 – and others) jd – I’m a little afraid that Iran may be in the driver seat of our RV and we can tell by Maliki that Iran is a weak Dinar advocate, so we may be in a holding pattern. What say you?? BGG - all great questions - I'm going to cover that (in depth) tonite... Savannah - yes they have BGG - however, the other side of the = sign is the thought that no one can say anything for fear of being "castigated"... for there to be a "speculative investment" - there has to be a reasoning for speculation and an impetus for investors to "get in the way" (with their buckets) - otherwise it's called "insider trading"... NOT based on speculation. THE OBSERVER - http://dinarupdates.com/observer/ designbyg - BGG "Special News Time" on Chat this evening (in the 7:30pm CST hour) BGG - working on how it all ties in together - because I believe it does... BGG - just not the way "guppies" think (is all)... BGG - I think Maliki's usefulness has about run it's course. Savannah - was he ever REALLY useful? lol BGG - For Iran to succeed - they need "freer trade" soon... BGG - Maliki does little for that... rcookie - Very well said!! Savannah - there you are trying to sneak in again... (lol) BGG - to Iran - of course, in retrospect - they were the biggest beneficiary of the last few years of status quo... Savannah - yes... but I meant for us (lol) Savannah - I understand what you're saying though :) BGG - they have been able to smuggle, launder, influence and swindle their way around sanctions. BGG - until now... BGG - now it won't matter as much... BGG - It appears this Administration (and I'm speaking not a partisan but as an observer) has leveraged the UN, China and Russia against their conservative opponents in Congress... BGG – as I see it there is little the Conservatives can to do stop this - even if they had the heart. Cricket22 - Everything is coming together as it should then? mimi3 - don't stop now BGG! BGG - "as it should" is a loaded statement... BGG - but things are MOVING... BGG - since we're talking - let's keep going... clay - is this Iran deal really bad IYO designbyg - they know what they have....they want to be fruitful like those around them. they know the only way is thru global compliance. they have wrapped their heads around it and now they are working towards that. as slow as it may seem....they know they need this.... BGG - That I agree with - whole heartedly... Savannah - it's so scary.... BGG - The Iran deal is likely very good for the short term - not-so-hot in the long term. Cricket22 - It's kind of like be careful for you wish for? BGG - Back to where I was headed. BGG – Also - what can we learn from the Greek bailout?? Savannah - do tell... BGG - first, and the only important thing Greece shows us is how governments interact with one another. BGG - Germany, The IMF, WB and others are intent on getting what they want. BGG - They want reforms...

BGG - the Greek "liberals" and population are trying to blame everyone else and make the case they've already paid this debt... I doubt it.

BGG - when the Greek debt is reportedly headed towards 200%..

BGG - huge changes - major cuts - massive concessions are needed.

BGG - the people won't like it...

BGG - but the IMF, the WB and others have shown they are willing to work with them - within reason.

BGG - This all being said to make this point - and parallel...

BGG - Iraq is being dealt with in much the same way.

BGG - The IMF, WB and others are ready willing and able to help... but it is becoming increasingly clear all the "good intentions" they can muster won't be enough. Abadi (and others) must come to the table with real reforms.

THE OBSERVER - http://dinarupdates.com/observer/

BGG - This has been the case... for some time now. Abadi came back from DC with all the good will he could have ever imagined. Why did it not translate to immediate aid?? Simple - reportedly there are significant "strings attached"...

BGG - and even if there weren't - "add up all this promised aid together" and you still come to a number that is woefully short of their budget shortfall (just for this year)...
